Home Sweet Home

A Tribute to Our Veterans & Celebration of Our Future Home

Gifford Academy for Performing Arts invites our families, friends, supporters, and community to join us for Home Sweet Home, our Annual Fall Community Concert.

This year’s concert brings together two things that mean so much to our organization: honoring the men and women who have served our country and celebrating the future home of Gifford Academy for Performing Arts.

An Evening of Music, Gratitude & Celebration

Our students have been working throughout the year to develop their musical skills, confidence, discipline, and ability to perform together. Home Sweet Home gives them the opportunity to bring that work to the stage and share it with the community that continues to support them.

Throughout the evening, audiences will enjoy performances showcasing students from across our music programs. More than a concert, this is an opportunity for our students to experience the excitement and pride that comes from performing for their families, instructors, and community.

A Tribute to Our Veterans

With Veterans Day taking place just one day before our concert, Home Sweet Home will include a special tribute recognizing the service and sacrifice of our nation’s veterans.

Through music, we will take time to express our gratitude to those who have served and recognize the veterans and military families within our own community.

Celebrating Our Future Home

The word “home” has another very special meaning for Gifford Academy for Performing Arts this year.

As we look toward the future, we are celebrating the development of a permanent home created for our students, instructors, programs, and community. This new chapter represents more than a building—it represents the continued growth of an organization dedicated to giving young people opportunities to learn, perform, and discover what they are capable of achieving.

Home Sweet Home celebrates where we have been, the people who have helped make our journey possible, and everything still ahead.

Join Us

We hope you will join us for this memorable evening and help us fill The Emerson Center with families, friends, veterans, community members, and supporters cheering on our students.
